So, what's the best part of my job, besides helping people find their dream homes? It's seeing the most beautiful homes that Louisville KY has to offer!
One of my favorite areas in Louisville is the Highlands. The rich style differences between these homes is amazing. Although traditional and colonial style homes are the most prevalent, every now and then you will find a modern home in the mix.
What a great example of a lovely traditional Highlands home! This is one I recently listed at 2331 Alta Avenue on a DOUBLE LOT! Pretty much unheard of to find a yard so huge in this area of the city.
The best part of the Highlands is that you never know what kind of private paradise is waiting for you behind the garden gate.
Vine covered Pergola is perfect for warm summer evenings.
The best Highland homes have large yards, reminenscent of Louisville's first southern plantations. This carriage house has a bay for one car on one side and a finished loft over a large room on the other side. Perfect for band practice, an office, maybe even a food prep area for those large gatherings.
Pools are a quite a treat that not all Highland homes have room for.
The Highlands is probably most famous for its many different restaurants. You can find some really great original Louisville restaurants here.

Whether it's a quirky and unique one like Lynn's or a posh five star eatery like Lilly's.
The Highlands is more than just a Louisville neighborhood, it's a local landmark. Between the sinfully good restaurants, art galleries and shopping, you will never find a negative to this area!

Having personally experienced 3 interstate relocations, I am in the unique position to identify with relocating families, fully understand their stresses, and how to best alleviate that for them.
